At the city gate, dusk. Soldiers pin Lane down and press his thumb to the roster — a fifteen-silver bounty, traded for a conscription order. Iris folds her arms: "Saves me the trouble of turning you in."
城门口，黄昏。雷恩被军士按住，在名册上按了手印——十五银币的悬赏，换来一张征兵令。艾莉丝抱着手臂说：「省了我举报的功夫。」
At the gate, in the dusk, Lane is pinned down and forced to stamp the muster roll. Iris watches with folded arms: "Fifteen silver's the bounty on you. Them drafting you saves me the trouble of turning you in." "How much d'you get for turning me in?" "Three silver."
城门口，黄昏。雷恩被军士按住，在名册上按了手印。艾莉丝抱着手臂站在一旁：「你值十五个银币。他们抓你当兵，省了我举报的功夫。」「你举报我能拿多少？」「三个银币。」
Lane thinks it over: "Then wait till I get back. I'll split my take fifty-fifty with you." Iris laughs: "Survive first. Then we'll negotiate." As he's shoved toward the gate he looks back: "Iris! If I don't make it—" "Then I save three silver."
雷恩想了想：「那你还不如等我回来，我偷的钱分你一半。」艾莉丝笑了：「你先活着回来再说吧。」他被推着往城外走，回头喊：「艾莉丝！如果我回不来——」「那我就省了三个银币。」
"...You are the coldest woman I've ever crossed paths with." "Thank you." Lane is pushed away down the road. Iris stays at the gate, drawing a wanted poster from her coat — Lane's face stares up at her. In the corner, a red-inked line: "Take alive. Do not harm. This man is connected to the Abyss." Her brow knots as she reads it.
「……你真是我见过最狠心的女人。」「谢谢。」雷恩被推着走远。艾莉丝站在城门口，从怀里摸出一张通缉令——上面画着雷恩的脸。但通缉令的角落，有人用红笔写了一行字：「活捉。勿伤。此人与深渊有关。」她盯着那行字，眉头紧锁。
